Permalink Ventures' Christmas Album Covers

New Topic
Goto Page: 1 2 Next

Well, with Thanksgiving coming up and the holiday season about to take off in full swing, I've been looking around for tabs/videos of Christmas songs to work on. Found some cool videos by this guy on YouTube who does pretty good covers of songs from the Ventures' Christmas Album.

Sleigh Ride / What Child Is This / Santa Claus Is Coming To Town / Jingle Bells

Jingle Bell Rock / Silver Bells / Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer / Frosty The Snowman

Scrooge / Blue Christmas / We Wish You A Merry Christmas / White Christmas

Now I just gotta tab it all out...

Cap, I'm actually doing the whole album with my group here in Atlanta. We did it last year and it was a lot of fun. I've got the whole thing tabbed out (I've even got bass tab too). Send me your email address and I'll see if I can scan it in and send it to you.

The Squares - 1995-2002
The Mystery Men? - 2012-
MOONBASE - 2012-2017
The KBK - 2017-2022
The Frigidaires 2021-
Southern Surf Stomp!

Thanks Chadillac! Message sent.

Here's another guy's take on Sleigh Ride, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, and The Christmas Song.

Marty Tippens (Nokie), Guitar

1 set will be the album in it's entirety and the other will be surf standards, most on the obscure, seldom-heard-live side.

More details in Show Announcements to come very, very soon...

We recorded a short Christmas tune for Whorehay's
show
last year. It was a done quick and dirty like. I
recall
we consumed 12 minutes from learning the song to
stopping the little recorder. But it was all for
fun.
It had the sound of breaking glass and I even got to
use the word "motherf***er" in it which I don't
think
has ever been done before in a holiday classic to my
knowledge. The whole thing was kinda in bad taste. A
real gem.

I can't imagine we'd ever do another one, even though
I
like Christmas music.

wow!!
why do I not remember that?
where is the scratching my head emoticon?

I just recorded (last night) this years RFB x-mas
show.
it should be up on Mon. Dec. 19th.
hope you all give it a listen.
I played some pretty eclectic bands,
and Ironically there is only a few surfy numbers.

and High Tide(surf super group)Jonpaul,Duff,Matt
Quilter,Marty Tippens

Purple Orchid Christmas party, Sunday Dec. 18th at 6pm
